FINANCES OF THE COUNTRY
An Official Statement Shows Initiation
of $70,000,000 During One Year.
One of the Largest Pensions Ever Paid
Shown To Be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
Favor of an Extra Session of Congress.
THE TREASURY.

An Official Statement rs 60 Condition Of the
National Finances.
WASHINGTON, June 2L-The following state
ment in reference to the national finances is
authorized by the Treasury Department:
The estimated receipts aud expenditures OF the
show that there will be decrease rather than
an increase in the treasury surplus during that
time. After providing for the $l9. 7l6, 600 OF
per cent. bonds due July l, the surplus will be
about $37. 900. 600. The pension appropriation
of SIC, 075, 900 for the fiscal year ending June 80
1887. is already exhausted, consequently the
preparation becomes available, on July l.
it will draw $l2000,000 for the payment
OF pensions. This will leave in the
Treasury a surplus of $25000,000. The govern
ment assets in national bank repositories
July will about equal that sum, SO that. sub
srantially. the whole government balance will
country July 1, and will probably continue
thus available for some months, for the amount
OF government deposits in national banks con-
stantly increases. and in August another $l2,
100000 will be drawn for pensions. Accruine
interest and ordinary expenditures will require
1877, 100000 in July and August and the receipts
for those months will be about 500. 600, 600, leav-
ing. on Sept. l. surplus less than on July OF
$50. 00O 900.
Other considerations should be noted as af-
fecting the influence of the Treasury upon the
finances of the country. One is that. of the
above estimated receipts, more than 81 OOO 600
will come not from taxation but from the profit
that during July and August the government
will expend at least 81, 000. 600 in the purchase
of silver bullion, which sum is not included in
the above estimated expenditures. Another Is
that 81. 600. 900 of the surplus Is got by calling
cash that amount of trade dollars redeemed and
melted into bars.
Last year the Treasury surplus in July and
August ranged from $75, 900, 900 to $85 O0O. 600.
against SIS, co., 900 500 600 900 this year.
Comparison is made upon the same basis, while
deposits in national bank repositories much
larger,
1887, the circulating medium of the country
will have been increased, through Treasury
operations and otherwise, about $40, DOC, 000 of
which $50, 600. 600 is in notes and coins of $40
and under.

CHICAGO, June 2l-Ferguson has always said
he disliked to pitch against Chicago. To-day he
was hit badly. and Philadelphia lost another
game, at which the $500 spectators cheered
lustily. At the start the visitors seemed to
think they could do whatever they liked. and
did succeed in having considerable fun with
Baldwin; but the Chicago support was good

inning the White Stockings batted out two runs

A SEPTEMBER PANIC
Is Now the Bugbear of All the Advocates o

Is Now the Bugbear of All the Advocates of
an Extra Session of Congress.
Washington Special.
1t is somewhat remarkable that the most out
spoken and persistent demands for an extra
session of Congress emanate from Kentucky,
with Senator Beck and Speaker Carlisle as
spokesman. One would think that Kentucky is
about as safe from the rayages of stringent
money market any State in the Union. as
race horses, and blue grass and Judge Toll
vers are not supposed to be particularly suscepti
BILE; but, notwithstanding il has been true any
time since Congress adjourned that Kentucky
has been the headquarters of movement for an
extra session.
The President was absolutely against the idea
at first, and is yet; but ne has far softened
to be willing to discuss the subject Senator
Beck had his say long ago to the President, and
Speaker Carlisle is expected to come on
within a few days, and partly in response
to indirect invitation from the
President While Mr.. Cleveland has esteemed
of finance, though admirins his frankness and
honesty, he has a great opinion of the ability
and foresight of Speaker Carlisle; and it is just
possible that the brilliant Kentuckian may sue
coed in persuading the President that an extra
session is imperative. if September panic is to
be averted.
A September panic is the bugbear of all the
extra session advocates. They say that the New
York gamblers have or soon will have the crcu-
lating medium so tied up that panic must re-
suit Just how they propose to let loose the
Treasury surplus through the medium of a con-
gressonal session in time to prevent panic in
September, the closest questioning does not dis
cover Meanwhile. SO far as can be heard,
NOBODY except the Kentuckians seems to be very
much alarmed, and the President is looking for
ward to another run to the mountains in July.
